Lush Cupcake Face Mask

I'm not one for regularly using masks, but I received a tub of this at a Lush party recently so it would have been wasteful not to give it a good try.

First off, the scent was deliciously chocolatey and it went on smoothly. It rinsed off easily and I found my face felt noticeably smooth and soft right into the next day.

For someone who has been reasonably sceptical about masks in the past, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this one. I intend to buy it again.

This mask is really good for my skin, pampering yet gentle enough for me to use(even on sensitive skin),I love the smell of the chocolate scent , its so yummy. over all i think that its a brilliant product, very pampering and good results.! buy it over and over again

I am a teenager, so this is fantastic for me. I Have oily, combination skin and this helps lessen the amount of oil... Quite pricy considering one tub expires after 2 weeks, but if you have 5 tubs you can get one for free! smells amazing though, and really leaves your skin soft and supple.

I have tried about 4 different face masks from Lush alone and quite a few other brands and have to say this is one of my favourites. The smell, as you can see from the other reviews, is amazing!!!! You legit just want to eat it all (I would suggest having some chocolate before using this facemask so it's not as bad haha).

I really hate how oily my skin can get sometimes so nothing cheers me up as much as using this face mask. Honestly after you take it off there is zero oil any where on my face.

The only downside I find to it is that it is very hard to use it all up before the best before date. I normally use it maybe 4 times and then end up using some of my mum and sister just to use up.

I do however love the pacakging. While it may look like a simple black pot it is actually made from 100% recycled plastic and Lush allows you to bring 5 of these pots back to get a free face mask yay!

I originally bought this for my little brother who was going through an teenage-oily-skin-breakout phase, but found my skin was starting to get a bit oily. I am so glad my brother barely ever uses this now, because I absolutely positively love this. The chocolate smell is gorgeous, and my fiancé always comments (nicely) on how I smell after I've washed it off. It seems to soak up the extra oil without drying out your face and leaves it feeling super soft and beautiful. I mix this mask with the Love Lettuce, putting the Cupcake on my oiliest parts, so I get a mix of the oil soaking Cupcake and the more exfoliating Love Lettuce, leaving my skin absolutely to die for.

smells amazing (like the cadbury mint chocolate drinking chocolate) it's has the finest granules that exfoliate without being too harsh. It reduced my breakouts a lot.

I popped into my local Lush store a few months ago to once again purchase my beloved mask of magnaminty. It is a mask that will clear up my acne prone skin more so than any other product, without fail. Shock horror - they were out of stock. I was in the middle of a break out and desperately needed an alternative so the lovely Lush lady introduced me to the cupcake mask. I am a big fan of cupcakes and chocolate and she promised that it performed similarly to the mask of magnaminty.

I tried it out that night and was certainly impressed. It has a fresh, 'real' cocoa smell that isn't overpowering and is much more pleasant than the Palmer's cocoa butter scent. It is dark brown in colour and applies easily and evenly over the face. It felt refreshing but not as tingly as the mask of magnaminty, which was a nice change.

After rinsing the mask off my skin felt clean and refreshed. My blemishes already felt smaller in size and by the morning they were significantly smaller. Like the mask of magnaminty, the cupcake face mask stopped me from breaking out further and calmed the blemishes that I already had. This cupcake face mask is available in a smaller size than the mask of magnaminty which is great due to the reasonably short expiry date on fresh face masks. The Lush cupcake face mask is a must have for anyone who suffers from break outs and is a gentle option with instant results.
